Hong Xiaoduo and the others had already eaten dinner. Tianxuan saw that the charcoal fire under the fire looked good, so she found the chestnuts she had bought earlier, cut slits in them, put a small iron pot on the charcoal fire, and roasted the chestnuts. She wasn't hungry since she had eaten dinner, so she ate a few as a snack and would eat the rest on the way tomorrow.

As the chestnuts slowly cracked open in the hot iron pot, their aroma spread freely.

The sturdy young master looked over in their direction.

When the chestnuts were roasted, Tianxuan took out a small portion, put it in a small wooden basin, and placed it on the small square table next to Hong Xiaoduo.

Hong Xiaoduo reached out and peeled them, then ate a few with her light tea. Tian Shu and the others also each took a few to eat.

Yao Guang ate while kicking a shuttlecock.

Just then, the maidservant followed the young master and walked over here.

As they approached, the maidservant grinned and said to Hong Xiaoduo, "Young lady, we smelled the aroma of roasted chestnuts over there, so my mistress sent me over to ask if we could sell some to my young mistress."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo glanced at the other party, especially at the young master mentioned by the servant. Although he had not yet spoken, his hands behind his back, his cold face, and his disdainful gaze sweeping over Tian Shu and the other children made Hong Xiaoduo feel displeased.

Hong Xiaoduo glanced at Tianxuan again. If he encountered children of the same age along the way, he would give them some snacks when he was making them.

Today, Tianxuan didn't do that, so there must be a reason why he's unwilling to give it.

Hong Xiaoduo withdrew her gaze, looked at the maid in front of her and her young master, picked up a chestnut, slowly peeled it, and then said, "Sorry, we are not peddlers, we don't sell."

After saying that, she slowly put the peeled chestnut into her mouth under the other person's surprised gaze. After chewing a few times, she even squinted her eyes and said, "It smells so good."

Quan Jinghuai, Fei Yantian, and the others sitting next to him couldn't help but hold back their laughter.

The maid and the young master never expected that Hong Xiaoduo would not only refuse him, but also deliberately tempt him.

How can there be such a person? Generally speaking, when faced with this situation, people would say, out of consideration for face, "Why bother buying it? It's not worth much. Just take some to eat."

"Young lady, what are you asking?" the maid asked anxiously.

Hong Xiaoduo swallowed what was in her mouth and looked at her: "What's wrong with me? Can't I even make decisions about my own things? I have so many children, what if they don't have enough to eat if I sell them to you?"

What are you going to do? If you're really worried that these kids don't have enough to eat, then why are you still feeding them? You're clearly just making excuses!

"I only came to ask you for something because I think highly of you. It's not like it's some rare delicacy. Go back." The servant girl said with a sneer, then turned and left. The maidservant gave Hong Xiaoduo a venomous look before turning and leaving as well.

If they had just left, there wouldn't have been any problem. The key issue was that when the boy passed by Yaoguang, he deliberately bumped into her. Yaoguang was kicking a shuttlecock and, with one leg standing, was caught off guard and stumbled, almost falling over...
